To those involved with the Foothills Minor Baseball Association... are you looking for a Strength and Conditioning Coach? As it is important for all athletes to have a solid foundation built within their field of practice Brad is offering the opportunity to train with him. Brad will be offering times to individuals in a 1-on-1 or group setting. The program will include a FREE consultation to those interested as all programs will be personalized to fit the athletes needs. This consultation will give me an opportunity to meet the athlete and with the parents go over the goals, how the program will look as well as times available and come up with a schedule that works for all.

Times available upon request and will be on a first come first serve basis. Time slots will either be based on once or twice a week with a take home workout.(This will be explained during the Consultation). Duration of consultation will be 1 hour.

Cost: Cost will be $200 for 10 sessions (1.5 hrs each) which is once a week with a take home workout. $250 for 20 sessions (1.5 hrs each) which is twice a week and a take home workout.

Training will take place at the Duvernay Fieldhouse (Right beside Seaman Stadium in Okotoks).

ProSport therapy is different than most other athletic and physical therapy clinics in that we will treat all our patients on a 60 minute one-on-one session. We also will personalize emails with patient exercises and other details as needed so that you always have it on hand. Our specialty but not limited to is working with athletes as we offer a 'for athletes by athletes approach' and are involved with a number of youth athlete programs in the area and working with young individuals is our passion.

With the association, ProSport can set up a communication system with the coaches so that the therapist can directly discuss an injury with a coach, with athlete and parental permission, to let them know why they are out of play without putting that on the athlete or the parent to communicate this information.

Current programs that we are involved with in the area include the Okotoks Dawgs Academy and Summer College team, the Rocky Mountain Raiders hockey teams and the Spectacle blue Circus school in Okotoks.
